  1. Abstract:

    Although the etiology of primary brain tumors is largely unknown, prior studies suggest that DNA repair polymorphisms may influence risk of glioma. Altered DNA repair is also likely to affect the risk of meningioma and acoustic neuroma, but these tumors have not been well studied. We estimated the risk of glioma (n = 362), meningioma (n = 134), and acoustic neuroma (n = 69) in non-Hispanic whites with respect to 36 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 26 genes involved in DNA repair in a hospital-based, case-control study conducted by the National Cancer Institute. We observed significantly increased risk of meningioma with the T variant of GLTSCR1 rs1035938 (ORCT/TT = 3.5; 95% confidence interval: 1.8-6.9; P-trend .0006), which persisted after controlling for multiple comparisons (P = .019). Significantly increased meningioma risk was also observed for the minor allele variants of ERCC4 rs1800067 (P-trend .01); MUTYH rs3219466 (P-trend .02), and PCNA rs25406 (P-trend .03). The NBN rs1805794 minor allele variant was associated with decreased meningioma risk (P-trend .006). Risk of acoustic neuroma was increased for the ERCC2 rs1799793 (P-trend .03) and ERCC5 rs17655 (P-trend .05) variants and decreased for the PARP1 rs1136410 (P-trend .03). Decreased glioma risk was observed with the XRCC1 rs1799782 variant (P-trend .04). Our results suggest that common DNA repair variants may affect the risk of adult brain tumors, especially meningioma.
